accident. This system is desiþned to
make installation oý the Child Restraint System easier and reduce the possibili‐

into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors ýor each ISæFIX seatinþ posi‐
tion that will accommodate a Child Re‐
straint System with lower attach‐ ments.

cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISæFIX attachments.

on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments ýor the ISæ‐ FIX anchoraþes.

in the leýt and riþht outboard rear seat‐
inþ positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
